Avionics Harness Engineer II

Turning Space into a Transportation Layer for Earth Who We Are: Eras of humanity can often be defined by a dominant transportation mode - horse drawn chariots, ocean going boats, or aircraft. These were spurred by a small group of people rigorously focused on building technology to achieve faster access to more of the world. We seek to usher in a new era of humanity defined by universal access to the whole globe free of borders and the presence of a routine way from space to Earth. To do this, we are building highly maneuverable re‑entry vehicles that can loiter in orbit before precision landing back on Earth. What You'll Do: As a Harness Design Engineer II on the Avionics team, you will contribute to harness design and integration activities from conceptual design to system integration – including component selection, process development, qualification, and production. By demonstrating proficiency in all phases of harness design, this interdisciplinary role offers growth opportunities and exposure to subsystem‑ and system‑level design through collaboration with cross‑disciplinary stakeholders. This role reports to Director of Engineering, Avionics . Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related technical discipline. 2-3 years of professional experience in wire harness design, electrical systems design, or hands on harness manufacturing. Ability to read/interpret electrical schematics and mechanical layout drawings. Understanding of wire gauge selection, current carrying capacity, and voltage drop calculations. Proficiency with 3D CAD software (NX, CATIA, SolidWorks, or similar) for harness design and routing. Experience creating wiring diagrams, routing in 3D, and producing 2D drawings for production harnesses. Ability to generate and maintain accurate technical documentation in accordance with engineering standards. Strong communication skills with the ability to present technical work at design reviews. Ability to work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams and manufacturing/integration personnel. Preferred Qualifications Experience with aerospace, defense, or spacecraft electrical systems. Experience with NX CAD software specifically. Hands‑on experience with development and test harness design for qualification testing. Experience developing or contributing to Interface Control Documents (ICDs). Experience designing harness mounts, brackets, and secondary structures. Proficiency/certification in Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing. Experience supporting harness production, manufacturing processes, and vehicle integration activities. Exposure to R&D investigations or trade studies focused on design optimization, mass reduction, or cost savings. Familiarity with re‑entry vehicle systems or high‑reliability electrical systems. Understanding of signal routing optimization techniques. The California annual base wage for this role is currently $106,000 - $150,000. Pay Grades are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data.
